I've never been a big resolution type of person or choosing a word for the year. However, 3 years ago I started writing out small monthly goals and it was an absolute game changer. Setting small goals made them much more attainable. It's much easier to achieve a larger goal when you break it up, for instance if you want to start a blog you would set goals of how to achieve that every month. For instance one month could be to research/decide on a blog name and buy a domain. The next month could be to buy a template, design your site, and so on. A big hairy goal can be overwhelming so breaking it up in to bite size monthly goals is helpful! 

I love a good challenge as well. 3 years ago I did a no shopping challenge for 6 months, and 2 years ago I did a budget challenge and shared what I spent on eating out and shopping every month. I feel good about my spending habits on clothes, how much I exercise (2x a week), and I declutter ALL the time so I'm not doing any specific challenges this year. 

I rarely set blogging goals which honestly just shows me my true focus. I have never put 100% towards this blog, because my bigger goals lean more towards my professional marketing career. I do have big goals for my career, and I will be working towards those this year. Some I won't really be able to go in to detail simply because I need to keep certain steps private.
